M3 or M4

[Mark CSL]

I was in today looking at the new M4 / M3 the M3 was in white and lookes better than the M4 from the back what would you buy if in the market for one ?

Couple of pictures in the rain
forgot to photo the white one :banghead:

[Chappers]

If I had to choose either it'd be the M4. Took this at the Lindner last time I was at the ring because it just looked... So. Damn. Mean.

M4, but better still buy another Cesil.

So the question is how fine the M3 rear end looks in white and not only don't you take a picture of a white one, not even a rear end in sight.

rubbish Mark :smt055

M3 for me as it will be my daily, including school runs.
I preferred the m3 in the flesh, the m4 they had was the burnt orange colour or what ever it is! And wasn't a direct comparison.
The said m4 went past me on way back from dealership, wow it's a wide old beast, reminded me of gt3rs proportions.

You know Dazza mate, different day different flavour......:hahaha:;)

[E46CSL]

Tough one, but I expect they will sell far more of the M3's.

[mick csl]

M4 for me:supz:,I saw them both last week (24H of Nordschleife).
But honestly I still prefer the CSL:smt055.

[mick csl]

M3 + M4 convertible:gayfight:

[Trawler]

Don't like the back end of the convertible

[Trawler]

Or the pics of the M4. Hopefully it will look better in the flesh when I see one this weekend.

I'd have an M3 with the M4 boot lid. Not sure it fits though...

It's all about the ducktail.

[Das Chin]

saw a few at goodwood yesterday. sounded very nice and went well.

the coupe did not look great in that baby poo yellow but saloon very nice in that skyish blue.

[outnumbered]

I think the M4 looks nice, but it's BIIIIIIG.

[AlexGTT]

That M4 convertible looks shite.

Not fan of M4 either.

If I had to M3 all the way.................in a few years after depreciation.......maybe.

Well noted, certainly make it more csl'esk:smokin:
Maybe they will on a lightweight version.:whistle:
The ducktail would make it look even better.:smt055

[shawn 968cs]

Does anyone have a picture of one in black yet?

[shimmy]

BMW dont make it in black, they say it's a shite colour :whistle:

[CraigMillwardCroft]

They are keeping that colour for the faster CSL version :whistle:

Black Sapphire is on the configurator, No Silver Grey:whistle:

[Andyk]

Saw a transporter full of M3 and M4 the other day and for me it would have to be M4...........

[DazBlackCSL]

You were M3 before?!! :blalalala:

I know :hahaha: But I've been turned to the dark AMG big engine side now and hard to turn back .. now want Black Series :smokin:

You know Dazza mate, different day different flavour......:hahaha:;)


Lol yes, tis true, good to try a few different things tho or else you don't really have a comparison.

GT3 was great but not as a daily, needed to be weekend / track toy, CSL great all-rounder but not best with the miles I was putting on it, bits harder to replace / get, generally getting old like we all do !! Range Rover silly on fuel, my fault for buying petrol, standard M3 both E46 & 92 were good but not special enough, AMG is by far the best daily for smiles per miles I've had, the noise, the comfort, the stupid turn of speed from cruising to warp in seconds, while still sitting relaxed and enjoying the best seats, stereo and creature comforts is just hilarious.

Ok had the new M3 out today for a 5 hour test drive what can i say
this is the best way for me to sum it up

I WANT ONE :thumbs:

Its one fast car and smooth it had the dtc and it feels like the GTR i was in on the up changes it just flys up the gears and boy can it travel at mental speeds on the B roads up here.

Turn in is Brill no understeer at all and the back is planted on the road
its a great place to be with all the toys and i need a heads up in my life after today Brill just Brill. :thumbs:

it sounds fantastic as well i could not tell the sound coming from the speakers at all with the windows down it barks on the changes its a great sounding car for a turbo out the box and yes it still has the M thrill to drive

Here are some pixs i took not many as drove it almost the full 5 hours the dealer had to pull the keys out my hand :banghead:

If they Make a CSL it will be Mental :supz::supz::supz:
